Introduced by an overview of the CSR educational system, the report includes a discussion of media in the schools dealing with such concerns as principles and aims, criteria for introduction of hardware, integration into the educational process, a taxonomy of media, and educational equipment requirements. The evaluation process is described, and quantitative data are provided on education in the CSR in 1976-77 and production and distribution of both software and hardware. Planning, organization, and procedures for approval are discussed in relation to the production system, as well as the manufacture of educational materials and equipment, the role of specialized institutions, media produced in the schools, and textbook production. A description of the provision and distribution system includes central distribution, the regional delivery scheme, and the individual order scheme.
